About The Author

Bryce Van Kooten was born and raised in rural Washington State, and soon realized that there was more to life than baseball, football and chuckin’ cow pies. He soon made his way from the rain, down to sunny California, onto a collegiate lacrosse team and then over the hill to the home of legendary rodent: Mickey Mouse. Bryce loves movies. Bryce writes movies. He also edits graphic novels for the Big D. I told you, this guy’s a legend. And there, tucked away in the hills of Glendale, CA, you might spot him, occasionally, if he feels lucky, running shirtless.

After an enthralling first episode, Game of Thrones maintained its torrid pace by offering an equally compelling second episode. Bryce Van Kooten reviews the episode and says its one of the most enjoyable and intricate shows on television.

Bryce Van Kooten has seen most of the movies that matter this year, and he has his picks for what will be nominated, what should be nominated, what will win, and what should win Oscars. He also looks at the most disappointing films of 2010.

Bryce Van Kooten went to a screening of David Fincher's "The Social Network" and can't stop raving about it. The movie has a stellar cast with Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield, Justin Timberlake, and Rooney Mara all shining. But it's Aaron Sorkin's script that makes the film great.

The Emmy nominees have been announced, and Glee, Mad Men, and Modern Family are among the most recognized shows. Bryce Van Kooten has a complete analysis of the selections and offers a "Fact and "Fiction" for each category. He's particularly high on Ty Burrell.

For the past three years, "30 Rock" has won the Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series, deservedly so says Bryce Van Kooten. But there is a perception that the show slipped this season, and that could open the door for a show like "Modern Family" or "Glee" to claim the top spot among comedy series.
